Manchester United star Paul Pogba has described facing older brother Florentin on the pitch as "something magic".

It was a special moment for the Pogba family on Thursday as Paul and Florentin faced off in the Europa League at Old Trafford

The
siblings played against each other in a competitive professional match
for the first time on Thursday in United's Europa League last-32 first
leg against Saint-Etienne.

Their
mother - who watched from the stands at Old Trafford in a half-and-half
shirt - had hoped for a draw, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic's hat-trick
ensured it was Paul who left the field the happiest as his side secured a
3-0 win.

he
pair embraced before and after the game and applauded their watching
family in the stands, and Paul admitted that it was a truly special
moment.

"Something
magic," he told MUTV when asked to describe it. "I just couldn't
believe it when I saw him. We started laughing and just said to enjoy
the moment. It doesn't happen every day.

"It's good. We wanted to win, to score goals and we did. It will be easier for us in the next game but it's not finished."

Florentin,
who had his and Paul's shirt numbers shaved into his hair to
commemorate the occasion, was left frustrated at Saint-Etienne's failure
to capitalise on their chances in a promising first half.

"We're leaving with three goals conceded. The return game is going to be very difficult," he told beIN Sports.

"We
have a bit of regret after the first half we had. We had shooting
opportunities but we didn't hit the target.

We played very well in the
first half but we should have played those situations better.

"Manchester
were effective - that's the mark of a great team. While the game is
still to be played, we must believe, even if we know it will be very
difficult."
